If this is in reference to the "Orient Express" truck it was made in Japan. Its body style was discontinued in 1988. The first US-made Toyotas were Corollas, beginning in 1986, but trucks weren't built here till much later. The San Antonio, Texas plant you're referring to opened in 2006.
I've seen yes a Volkswagen style an PT Cruiser Chrysler but it's all that sticks to the track that measures in the end 👊 I pulled a K73 series with 454 blown alcohol aluminium aircraft frame ( burnt ALOT of drill bits 😁) military trans til a fierce sled crash blew 3 discs in lower back L3L4L5 SIDELIDE ME FOR LIFE 👊
Nowadays, if the builder can get it to specs, they'll allow it. A team outta Ohio brought in an all electric pulling truck (4x4) and it tore the place up. I wasn't a fan, but I had to give that truck credit. It's benefit over fuel powered was that it dumped full power to the track as soon as the flag dropped. It sounded like a huge power drill, so it wasn't too bad, but I prefer the fire, smoke, and roar. Back in 2003 they brought in a hydrogen powered truck, with big dollar sponsors, same deal. It tore the place up, but it came with million-dollar sponsors that designed the truck for perfect pulling. Kind of cheating in a way, when a computer designs the weight, traction, torque, etc... Maybe they are on youtube somewhere, I'll do some looking.
